Your conclusion doesn’t fit your discussion as your discussion fails to address Loramin’s point that sometimes dps is more desirable than dpm.

Yea so, this was my topic and that is my conclusion after hearing the points made. Yea he said that, but didnt give any example. I know it might be desirable to blow all your mana for a hail mary, but you arent gonna have the spell loaded for a "just in case" so any example he would give wouldnt convince me to ever do it. It will always be better to cast back to back word spells. There will never be any situation where earthquake would be preferred.

I also asked what as special about earthquake to justify its ridiculous mana cost and no one said anything, so I can only conclude... nothing. My question has been answered. Thanks all.
